Moving is both exciting and stressful. It is a change a lot of people dream of making but once the time comes they realize how stressful it is and how many things you have to do. It takes a lot of time to plan and organize a successful move. But planning a move is important for plenty of reasons. A detailed plan will help you stay on track when moving. And as we are professionals, we know how much moving can be chaotic. It is why people almost always forget to do something very important on time. But that is not the case when you have a moving plan. And if you want to create one yet you don’t know how, we are here to tell you where you can find the best resources to help you plan your move. You’ll be surprised how many of them exist.
Moving company blogs and social media accounts
One of the best resources to help you plan your move is moving company blogs and social media accounts. Almost every moving company has a blog dedicated to moving tips, tricks, and important information that you need to know before moving. If you are reading this, that means that you are already on a blog of a moving company and you are already reading useful information before your move. You’ll find a similar blog on the website of the Master Moving Guide. These blogs are where you will find the best moving tips as they are written by professionals who have been working in the moving company industry for a long time.
Some moving companies have very active social media accounts where they post moving tips and tricks every week. So, if you have social media yourself, maybe following such a moving company on Instagram and Facebook isn’t such a bad idea at all. You’ll be able to read plenty of moving tips as well as get some planning tips for your move.

Having a housewarming party or a goodbye party is very important to a lot of people. And an important part of these two events is invitations.

Canva is an app where you’ll find amazing templates that you can use to create your perfect invitation. It is very easy to use and there are plenty of pre-made designs that look very professional. The Balance and Homes.com are two other great apps to try if Canva doesn’t work out for you.

Zillow is where you will find all the information about real estate in a certain state, city, or even neighborhood. This is also where you’ll find homes for rent and sale. There are plenty of useful filters on Zillow which you can use. Not to mention the fact that Zillow can help you create a moving budget. It can also connect you with realtors and property managers. This is a very useful app to have on your smartphone. Especially for those of you who are searching for apartments. Zillow is very up to date and you can turn on instant notifications for the best online listings.
